BRIEF SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
MICROMINATURE DOWN CONVERTER FOR SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to a microminature down converter for satellite communications which is used to receive satellite communications.
2. Background Art
Generally, in microminature down converters for satellite communications, high frequency circuit printed boards and power printed board for supplying power thereto are disposed at two or three peripheral surfaces of a box made of a die-casting and the power is supplied from the power printed board to each of the high frequency circuit printed boards through, mainly, lead wires.
However, the structure in which the power is supplied to each of the high frequency circuit printed boards through the lead wires as described above has a problem that the lead wires and high frequency signals occurring in the high frequency circuit printed boards electromagnetically couple with each other, whereby undesired waves appear in intermediate frequency outputs, which can be obtained after received input signals are frequency converted and it is very difficult to remove the undesired waves.
In view of such problem, the present invention has been accomplished and an object of the invention is to provide a superior microminature down converter for satellite communications which has a structure to supply power to each of high frequency circuit boards not through lead wires and in which occurrence of undesired waves is restrained.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
A microminature down converter for satellite communications according to the invention is characterized in that high frequency circuit printed boards are disposed at peripheral four surfaces of a box made of a die-casting and a power printed board which supplies power to each of the high frequency circuit printed boards not through lead wires is disposed on a surface opposite to an input portion of a wave guide tube.
The microminature down converter of the invention has a structure in which the high frequency circuit printed boards are disposed at the peripheral four surfaces of the box made of a die-casting, so that electromagnetically couplings occurring between respective printed boards are prevented and further electromagnetically couplings between high frequency signals occurring in the respective printed boards and the lead wires is also prevented by the fact that the power to the respective printed boards is supplied not through lead wires, whereby it is possible to restrain occurrence of the undesired waves.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a mounting condition of the embodiment.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an embodiment of the invention and FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a mounting condition of the embodiment. In these drawings, the reference numeral 1 denotes a power printed board for supplying power, 2 denotes fixing plates which are used to fix feed-through capacitors, 3 denotes feed-through capacitors interconnecting the power printed board and high frequency circuit printed boards, 4 denotes holes, into which the feed-through capacitors are inserted, formed in a box made of a die-casting, 5 denotes the high frequency circuit printed boards and 6 denotes covers for the high frequency circuit printed boards to shield the high frequency circuit printed board.
In the embodiment, the high frequency circuit printed boards 5 receive power supply from the power printed board 1 through the feed-through capacitors 3 which are fixed on the box by the plates 2 for fixing the feed-through capacitors, without using any lead wires which are apt to cause electromagnetic coupling. Therefore, occurrence of undesired waves is restrained.
Further, electromagnetic coupling between the high frequency circuit printed board 5 and the other three high
